Here are some additional photos of our Cabo adventure.

The sea can be quite rough here.Janis and I with El Arco in the backgroundWe are in the Sea of Cortes. On the other side of the rocks is the Pacific Ocean.Not a very well centred photo but it captures the ferocity of the waves here. El Arco is just to the left of the wave.Lots of pelicans hang out on the rocks here, leaving behind quite a bit of pelican poop it seems!Lots of pelicans surround this local boat.

The sun sinks into the sea.The boat turns on its running lightsAnd we head back to port

We’ll leave you with another video of the turtle release. In it we see a couple of waves washing the turtles out to sea, but then one large wave, instead of carrying all the remaining turtles out, pushes a number of them back up the beach. There is a bit of chaos and then the staff tell us we can pick up and carry the turtles back to the water. The video ends with me picking up a turtle and putting it back down closer to the water. The sun had set so the video is a bit grainy.
